Hello all,

 >> Two points from the Readme are very important to mention

One more point at the very end of the file that looks important:

------------------------------------------------------------
* Java
     Java versions earlier than 1.5 are *not* supported.  Neither the IBM
     nor Innotek versions of Java will work with this release.
------------------------------------------------------------

I heard the a newer version of Java is being developed, alongside with 
recent "Odin" updates for that purpose.

How is that coming along?

Will that (newer Java) be made available to ALL OS/2 users (not just ECS 
users), and will it work with those newer FF/Seamonkey releases?

And what about newer flash plugin that I heard of?

Will that work with these newer Firefox/Seamonkey releases, and be made 
available to all O/2 users (for a "reasonable fee" I would think...)?

Thanks!
